I don't know why, but recommendation votes are few. Compared to other books on the rankings, our click‑through rates aren't lower, yet our recommendation votes are only a quarter, a fifth… such a meager number.

******** Hu Meier didn't dare to respond; she knew that speaking too much leads to mistakes, and she feared angering Yang Kai.
"Come here!" Yang Kai suddenly gestured to her. Hu Meier's delicate body trembled, tears welled in her eyes, she bit her lip, pleadingly looking at Yang Kai, yet she dared not move a step.
"What are you afraid of? If I tell you to come, just come!" Yang Kai sounded a bit impatient.
Helpless, Hu Meier could only walk toward Yang Kai, slowly stopping five steps in front of him, looking at him with some fright.
Sensing her fear, Yang Kai felt amused inside, yet kept a stern face and said: "Be obedient, I won't touch you."
His tone was light, yet carried an irresistible domineering air.
Hu Meier nodded vigorously: "I'm obedient."
"En." Yang Kai finally satisfied, bent down, hoisted Nu Tao's corpse onto his shoulder, and indicated to the corpse of Cheng Shaofeng: "Bring him up!"
Although disgusting, Hu Meier dared not refuse; she sullenly squatted, hoisted Cheng Shaofeng's corpse onto her back. Though just a girl, as a martial artist carrying a hundred‑odd jin was no burden for her.
"Follow me." Yang Kai glanced at the direction, then headed deeper into the Black Wind Forest.
Hu Meier didn't know what he intended to do, nor dared to ask; she simply followed step by step.
Yang Kai intended to discard the corpses; although the previous spot was already considered deep, one never knew if some lustful couple might get excited and come there for a tryst. If someone saw them, it would be trouble. Though the probability was low, it couldn't be ignored.
The cause of death for Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao was special: both were pierced through vital spots by scorching yuan energy. If Wind and Rain Tower followed this clue and investigated, they might even trace it back to him.
Thus Yang Kai needed to dump the corpses far away, so that Wind and Rain Tower's people could never find them.
The two walked one after another into the deep forest; Hu Meier wanted to speak several times but held back each time.
After more than an hour, a lake suddenly appeared before them; Yang Kai's eyes lit up — this was the spot.
He called Hu Meier to put down the bodies, then went to find two large stones, carried them back, tied them to Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao's corpses, and sank them to the lake bottom.
He clapped his hands, pondered a moment, then said: "Now you're also my accomplice; you should know what to do, right?"
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at her lightly.
Hearing this, Hu Meier wasn't startled but delighted, nodding repeatedly: "I know."
Yang Kai saying that also meant he wouldn't bear her ill will; her life was spared, Hu Meier relaxed both body and mind, involuntarily taking a breath.
"Smart, smart girls always find someone who likes them." Yang Kai chuckled lightly.
Speaking of which, up to now Yang Kai truly didn't know what to do with Hu Meier — not killing her would leave a hidden danger; today she had witnessed everything; killing her would make him hesitant; from start to finish, Hu Meier had done him no harm, merely standing aside watching the show; would he really exterminate her just for that? That would be utterly unreasonable.
Having walked such a long road, Yang Kai also figured it out. This incident was provoked by Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao themselves; if he didn't kill them, would he just sit and wait for death? So even if Hu Meier spilled the beans, Yang Kai felt no fear.
"Have you killed many people?" Hu Meier, emboldened, looked at Yang Kai and asked.
